[HWYSTR455]

I was assigned to that command for training, and like just about everyone else there, was only there for about 3 months. I was one of the few people that actually had a car, and being like 45min from Memphis, kind of away from civilization, everyone was pretty much stuck going to the base 'club'.

I had a notebook and would book seats in the car to take people off base. I paid for nothing, gas, food, drinks, and even oil changes & tires. I would be booked out for weeks. Weekends usually was for going to Memphis, and knew all the hot spots. Weekdays were for closer 'excursions', and a favorite was going to hang on the banks of the river. The banks were packed with people sitting around fires, grilling, and swimming in the river, you could look up & down the banks both sides and see fires everywhere. Many songs have been written about that stuff!
